“…The favourable evolution of the pandemic allowed the authorities to lift the restrictions previously imposed from the end of spring, with life returning to what is generally referred to as the new normal [6] , a situation in which the strict measures imposed at the beginning of the pandemic have been relaxed, but some limitations remain in place. However, the impact of the health crisis on Spanish society has led to a substantial change in habits and customs, for example, in the way people relate to each other or how public spaces are used and their frequency of use, in particular the use of closed spaces, such as bars and restaurants [4] . The data described in the present study show the responses of the Spanish population to a series of contextualized questions in a new period marked by the end of home confinement (which lasts more than three months) and after a summer in which the measures to contain the spread of the virus had been relaxed; just in a moment when Spain was seeing to have the highest number of people infected by COVID-19 of any European country [7] .…”

“…These types of questions help identify whether the behaviour patterns of Spaniards have been affected by the extreme situation experienced in 2020 and whether these possible changes will lead to transformations that may require certain sectors to adapt, such as the hospitality sector is doing, to guarantee their survival. In Madrid, for example, the limitations on mobility for so many months and the fear of contagion in closed spaces have meant that, with the support of the local government, bars and restaurants have had to reinvent themselves, adding/expanding outdoor terraces to adapt to the new demands of their customers [4] .…”

“…Table 3 provides information extracted from questions 7003 and 7004 (Section 7), referring to two specific customs and habits: (i) going to bars or restaurants and (ii) practising sports, before and after the state of alarm. The data provided in (i) was intensively exploited in [4] to study the impact of the pandemic on the Spanish restaurant sector. Table 4 offers information extracted from question 8001 (Section 8), referring to the increase in the use of new technologies, both in the workplace and in the family or personal environment.…”

2020 was a year marked by COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Since the official beginning of the pandemic (March 2020), the authorities in Spain have been imposing significant restrictions (mainly on mobility) to stop the spread of the disease. In October 2020, the research group GIPEyOP (Elections and Public Opinion Research Group from the University of Valencia) conducted a survey to analyse whether the Spanish population has maintained or modified their habits and customs once the strict measures imposed in Spain during the onset of the pandemic were relaxed. This article describes the dataset collected, which is provided as an attachment. The dataset is made up of 196 variables, following elimination of those variables that could potentially identify the respondents to ensure their anonymity. Over 22 days, from September 23 to October 14, 2020, GIPEyOP collected 1755 valid responses. Respondents were contacted by chain or snowball sampling via email and social media and answered a self-administered web questionnaire consisting of 40 questions. amongst other uses, the resulting dataset can be (re)used to analyse whether the period of home confinement that Spaniards experienced between March and June 2020 has caused them to change their habits and customs, such as how often they do sport or go to bars or restaurants. The data also permit the study of whether there have been changes in the distribution of household chores by comparing three clearly differentiated moments (before confinement, during confinement and after confinement), what type of work (telework or face-to-face) the respondents would prefer or to know how the management of the crisis by govern authorities impacted on their votes preferences.

“…A particularly relevant issue that the pandemic raised in some cities (especially in Spain, but not only there) is that of COVID terraces [89][90][91][92]. At first, the restrictions imposed by the competent authorities were very strong, with orders to stay at home and the closure of bars, restaurants, and other places where it was foreseen that it would be difficult to keep the accumulation of people under control and to maintain social distance.…”

How the COVID-19 Pandemic Muted and Remixed the World’s Acoustics for a While

Purpose of ReviewThis review aims to analyze the effects of the pandemic on the world's sound environment. Recent Findings The confinements associated with the pandemic led to a reduction in sound levels worldwide and a change in the perception of soundscapes in the absence of traffic noise and human-generated noise. Summary In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries and regions around the world adopted a series of interventions in 2020 that have been referred to as "lockdown" or "confinement." These sets of restrictions had a clear and obvious consequence derived from the absence of people in the streets and the reduction of daily activity and commuting, which caused an unprecedented silencing on a large scale. Along with the silence that ensued, the pandemic and the confinements affected acoustics and our relationship with sounds on different scales. In the cities, this phenomenon had a strong reduction in acoustic intensity due to the absence of vehicles on the streets. Perhaps this was more perceptible in our neighborhoods, with notable changes in their soundscapes, first due to the absence of people in the streets and later due to more outdoor activity derived from the fear of the spread of the virus in indoor spaces. The longer periods of time spent in our homes during the lockdowns also highlighted the importance of sound insulation in buildings and the acoustic conditioning of our schools or homes.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic situation has been a turning point in daily life, resulting in major changes in daily, social, and work habits [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Among these transformations, the imposition of the mandatory use of facemasks in many countries as a sanitary measure stands out [ 4 ].…”

In this work, quantitative research is carried out on the importance that educators give to literacy work in early childhood education classrooms and the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic and the use of facemasks have had on it. To this end, a survey designed for this purpose has been used, which has been passed on to a set of 112 Spanish early childhood educators. The teachers surveyed occupy different positions in the classroom (tutors, support technicians, specialists in bilingualism, therapeutic pedagogy and speech and hearing), and, in addition, they themselves learned to read from different methods of literacy learning (synthetic or analytical). The results found in this study indicate that educators express intermediate evaluations of the importance of literacy work in the classroom, higher if it is done through digital resources, and higher for the synthetic method than for the analytical method. In addition, the impact of the use of masks on literacy learning was rated as very negative. On the other hand, gaps have been identified in the above perceptions by the position occupied in the classroom and by the method used to learn to read. Finally, some actions are suggested to homogenize the perceptions of the different professionals, and some lines of research are proposed.
